Some people don't always realise that they may be unintentionally bully, they get an idea in their head and it all comes spilling out. Once pointed out they will almost apologise publically and feel ashamed of what they have done. Proper, bullies be it cyber or in person are relentless and would never think of apologising

Also does this include the moral highgrounders as in people who believe they should set the moral standing of what is right or wrong for the board and tell others how they should be thinking, speaking, writing?

In itself taking the moral high ground isn't wrong especially if it is in the best interests of the board and is debated and accepted by all of the members in the community.

However, when the people who take the moral high ground IMPOSE their views and opinions without any flexibility, then yes it can be classed as cyber bullying!

OMG does that mean I have just done it or am asking a legitimate question! I was, honest!

Bless ya Cathie YES it is a legitimate question and in all truth it also shows everyone how complex the whole thing is but in the end these people all want to achieve power status etc.

Glad you're having a great hol, even if the weather is a bit pants!
